fermi's paradox      
                          
                                          
 on earth  (the planet  where  i live)  a 
 lot of us have  antennas  on our  houses 
 or  balconies,  we  have   built   large 
 antennas  for larger  bandwith,  we have 
      build specialized antennaes for     
   specific wavelengths (and sent them    
 into  orbit), we've built large as  fuck 
              antenna arrays              
 we've virtually built  an antenna with a 
          dish as large as earth.         
                                          
 we've learned about our position  in the 
      solar system, our solar systems     
 placement   in   the   galaxy,  and  our 
 galaxys placement in  the local cluster, 
 and our  local clusters  place  in the 
          grand scheme of things          
                                          
 and  we're  moving  around  the  sun  at 
 velocity and  the suns moving around the 
 center  of  the  galaxy at velocity  and 
 the  galaxy is  moving  toward andromeda 
   and we're both moving anticlockwise    
 around the  galaxy. and we  as a species 
 have learned to take all that in account 
                                          
 and despite all  this, despite  all  our 
   (cliche) beaming of fucking stellar    
 radio programmes  out  in fucking  space 
 at  the  speed  of  light (light  is our 
  medium! goodspeed you, black emperor!), 
      despite ghosts helping and the      
     collective consciousness lowpass     
   filtering, despite our very obvious    
 beaming  of all  our  secrets  in  every 
          direction known to us,          
                                          
 no      one       has        answered

              so why is that?             
                                          
 most opponents  to  intelligent  life in 
 the universe say  it's because you  need 
 a  class one-or-the-other  star  and the 
 planet  needs  to  be  at  a  see-and-so 
 distance away from the star (like  there 
           has to be a planet!)           
                                          
 but   really   isn't  that  keeping  the 
      definition of life really lax?      
                                          
 i think everyone agrees that we  have no 
 idea what  we're doing (and  it probably 
                  shows)

 i'm  gonna go smoke  my  third cigarette 
 this  year and  try to snatch some beers 
         from the local beer thing
